The still image shows a group of women in the densely packed crowd during the rally at the March on Washington on August 28, 1963. Two women wear wide sun hats for protection against the August heat; one of them holds a cup and claps, another shades her face with her hand. The close-up captures Black and white participants side by side, documenting the interracial composition of the march. In the background, a dense, standing crowd is visible, oriented toward the stage at the Lincoln Memorial. The image conveys both the physical exertion and the concentrated attention of the participants during the multi-hour event.
